The intimate reality series left viewers crying happy tears after its release back in April
Two cherished TV personalities have just secured a second series for their reality programme.
Last April, Made In Chelsea favourites Sophie Habboo and Jamie Laing chronicled their path to parenthood in an intimate three-part series called Raising Chelsea. The show captured how the pair managed pregnancy and childbirth while simultaneously overseeing major building work on their property.
The episodes featured cameos from relatives and fellow reality television personalities, including Jamie’s closest friend, Ollie Proudlock. The programme also confronted the raw realities of giving birth head-on.
Speaking to OK! at the time, Sophie disclosed that she became tearful “every time” she revisited the first series’ delivery scene. She explained: “I saw something the other day that the birth is like every emotion, like fireworks, like every single emotion you can imagine going off in your head.
“That truly is what it’s like. It’s utterly wild. And it is quite amazing to have that captured and like be able to show your children later on in life.”
Disney Plus has now announced that a second series of Raising Chelsea has received approval. This instalment will follow how the couple have adjusted to parenthood with their son Ziggy, their professional comeback and, according to the synopsis, “new adventures that take them outside Chelsea.”
It adds: “The returning series will host brand new faces, together with the return of the couple’s mums Penny Baines and Sarah Wigley, plus Sophie’s sister Georgia Habboo, and Jamie’s best-friend, Oliver Proudlock.”
Speaking about the series renewal, Jamie and Sophie said in a joint statement: “We were blown away by the response to the show and are so excited to keep sharing our journey. The experience of working with Disney+ and Dorothy Street Pictures for season one made it easy for us to say yes.

“We’ve always documented our lives over the years and continuing to do this on a bigger scale is just amazing. We hope that fans and viewers carry on enjoying our honesty as we continue to navigate raising Ziggy, together with balancing our family and professional lives. We can’t wait to bring you in more.”
Viewers described the opening season as “eye opening” with numerous people confessing to watching it all in a single sitting. One audience member revealed: “Not sure what’s wrong with me but I was a wreck. Cried for a whole 10 mins when he passed his driving test and sobbed when Ziggy was born. He [Jamie] for sure is still a Peter Pan but has grown up a lot too lol.”
A second commented: “Binge watched it. They are so funny and entertaining. Made for each other,” while a third wrote: “Loved this show. Was always a fan of Jamie. Thought they were both very honest. It was very entertaining and great to watch. Binge watched all three episodes.”
Raising Chelsea series one is streaming on Disney Plus. A release date for the second season is yet to be announced.
